Jack Frost was supposed to be on holiday, but with one child dead and another reported missing, there was no chance, no matter how much it pained Chief Superintendent Mullett to recall his scruffiest, most irreverent officer to duty. Had the same person taken both boys? Was there any connection with the pervert who silently entered houses at night to stab babies in their cots? Questions, questions and more questions. And so very few answers.

Gallows View is the first novel in Peter Robinson's best-selling Inspector Banks series. Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks has recently moved to the Yorkshire Dales from London to escape the stress of the metropolis. But he soon finds that life in the country is not quite as idyllic as he had imagined. A peeping Tom is frightening the women of Eastvale. Two glue-sniffing thugs are breaking into homes. An old woman may or may not have been murdered....

Publisher's Summary

Detective Inspector Jack Frost, officially on duty, is nevertheless determined to sneak off to a colleague's leaving party. But first the corpse of a well-known local junkie is found blocking the drain of a Denton public lavatory and then, when Frost attempts to join the revels later on, the nubile daughter of a wealthy businessman is reported missing.

Sleepy Denton has never known anything like the crime wave which now threatens to submerge it. A robbery occurs at the town's notorious strip joint, the Coconut Grove, the pampered son of a local MP is suspected of a hit-and-run offence and, to top it all, a multiple rapist is on the loose. Frost is reeling under the strain, his paperwork is still in arrears and now, more than ever, his self-righteous colleagues would love to see him sacked. But the manic Frost manages to assure his superior that all is under control. Now he has only to convince himself...

I really like the storyline and the reader.

Would recommend to everyone who likes rumbled cops.However not suitable for young teens or grandmothers or maybe great aunts.

Poor narration

Having listened to most of the audible Frost books narrated by Stephen Thorne I was most disappointed by this narrator. His performance changed my perception of all of the characters to the point that I am now searching for another Thorne Frost performance to restore my Faith

Terrible narration

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The narrator.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator's voice for Frost is terrible, he sounds like a whining child. I listened to half the book then had to stop.

Any additional comments?

A huge disappointment, I'd been waiting for unabridged audiobooks of the Frost books for ages, but this one is unlistenable.

Not bad but not as you'd expect from tv.

First I should mention that this is the second in the series after Frost at Christmas. I didn't realise this until I was pretty far along into the listening.

Jack Frost in this book is much coarser than on TV although not necessarily to his detriment. Webster, who was his Watson, was painfully slow and blunt. This got to be quite frustrating as the book went on.

This is different lots of the other murder mysteries in that there were many cases ongoing at at same time which made a refreshing change. However, I binged this over a few days and you may struggle to keep track of characters if this was spread over a month's worth of short commutes.

I guess the book has dated badly but there is a weird dichotomy between Frost and co learning about bikinis for the first time and just about every female character being up for it to some degree or other. And Frost's lack of tact sometimes also differed from TV a bit.

The narration and voices were good but the volume does dip sometimes so you'll need to tweak your headphones or speakers occasionally.

Overall, if you like police procedural stuff then this will be a decent read. If you're looking for a novelisation of the TV show then you're out of luck.

Spoilt by the narrator

A ripping good yarn, but not the affable Jasonesk Frost. The separation of the characters through voice was not achieved as most sounded music-hall Jewish and it was difficult to tell at time which one was speaking.
